Note: Light bulbs are not included.
Gorgeously petite, this rare duo will strike a chord with any Art Deco enthusiast or boudoir glass lamp collector! Elegantly playful, they are fabulous accent lamps for smaller spaces or compact tabletops. In the round ribbed paneled “Skyscraper” globes; three ribs per globe feature a raised leaf motif (see photos), quite lovely! Electrically in perfect working condition, the lamps produce a soft warm light and use a 50 watt bulb, maximum per lamp (bulbs not included). Each lamp has an on/off pull chain switch. “Skyscraper” globes stay in place by applying simple pressure onto the brass neck for a secure tight fit. Each lamp measures 12” high with the globe inserted; globe by itself measures 7¼” high; base without the globe measures 4¾” high; tiered pedestal base is a perfect square and measures 4” x 4” W/D; globe circumference 10"; weight per lamp 2 lbs. 7 oz. Handcrafted from thick pressed glass in a color HouzeX named Coralex, which is a translucent pale pink hue; globe finials are silver-tone; bulb sockets are brass, as are the on/off pull chains. In excellent condition with no wear to the glass; slight tarnish on the bulb sockets (see photos) which will be unseen with the globes in place. As is typical with glassware of this era, there are random straw marks that are original to the manufacturer and are mostly indiscernible. Rare find and awaiting their new home!
Thanks for looking!
Short History on Houze Glass Company
In 1899, Leon Houze came to Point Marion and built the Jeanette Window glass company. He returned in 1902 to build the Federated Glass Co. Leon Houze built two more glass plants in Point Marion, including Houze Portrait Glass in 1902 that was eventually renamed Houze Window Glass and L.J. Houze Convex Glass in 1914. Eventually, he bought out Jeanette Window and Federated Glass and incorporated all of the plants into L.J. Houze Convex Glass Co. in 1923. Leon Houze had three sons: Armand Sr., Roger and Leon Jr., who all worked at the factory. Armand was the glass chemist who started working for his father when he formed the convex glass company and became vice president of the company. He was in charge of coloring the glass and chemicals. Roger Houze took care of sales and was plant manager. The company grew and began making transparent colored sheet glass, pressed glass specialties as well as providing private mold work for others. In 1928 under the trade name of HouzeX. , the company began making MarbleX, a marbleized glass with a mix of one or more colors, known today as slag glass and Onyxglas, a translucent solid colored glass that is sometimes called colored clambroth made in a multitude of assorted colors, including “Coralex”, a transparent satin opaque pink glass. The company made some spectacular art glass pieces during the art nouveau, deco and Depression glass periods, including large volumes of lamps of many varieties. Sadly, the company ceased operations in 2004. less
